Currently patrol of the seas around NS GHQ on Proxima 5 is handled by a small fleet of RP-30 Canada Goose amphibious aircraft. These aircraft do a decent job but NS Terrestrial Forces considers the relative slow speed of the Canada Goose means it might not be able to respond quickly enough to an attack.
NS have ordered 4 jet powered maritime patrol aircraft which will be based on the Consolidated RFX airliner. The RP-50 Albatross is expected to enter service around 2123. The 6 Canada Goose aircraft will be retained in a support role.
